Charles de Schwartzenberg-Schwarzburg (1809 – December 1878), also known as General Baron de Schwartzenberg,^[2] Emir Bey, and later Emin Pasha (Ottoman Turkish: امين پاشا; Modern Turkish: Emin Paşa), was a French-born Belgian aristocrat, soldier, and statesman of German descent. Schwartzenberg was in the service of multiple armies of his age. He was most notably employed in the Ottoman army, which he was a part of for nearly 20 years (albeit irregularly), attaining the rank of Pasha by 1859. Schwartzenberg documented his experiences up to 1863 in his memoir, simply entitled Mémoires.^[3]
